other than the computer that im so addicted to 24/7 of the time, we went along with mum for house hunting across the area in a hope of finding a house to settle into before school term starts. highschool for sharon starts on the 4th of feb so we aren't left with much time to dawdle. university term only starts on the 18 feb which is my orientation and the 22nd for the start of the term.
the days seem to pass so slowly yet im already eager enough to fly home for christmas. i had a great christmas and new year back home with everyone else. yet chinese new year here in perth spells something different from the normal. the tradition of the celebration remains yet the spirit is somehow different. the warmth of family, the renuion dinner, the atmosphere, the decorations of red and most importantly for amanda ( that is)the number of red packets.
house hunting is a bore. yet we have to follow since my mum cant make decisions. and my following along just makes her more confused. they both cant stand me and yet i dont understand why. i fickle easily in my decision but you cant blame me! although the choices arent good but im desperate for a house to move out soon!
theres nothing much to do here now that its summer. i seem to be putting on the calories since all i ever do at home is to lie on the bed and play on my computer. the most i ever walked was from the room to the kitchen. now that's bad for someone who's ultimate goal is to shed a few kilos and who made a deal to run every now and then. ( okay, that's a bad term) since every now and then could mean the next i cut my hair ( which would be a year later). amanda, the procrastination is going to kill you someday!
it's australian day tomorrow. there's going to be a half hour fireworks show at the city. all public transport would stop by dusk so the only way to get there would be by car. since its not a small area of land like singapore, we're expecting a whole lot of people. if youre asking about loyalty, the aussie's have it much better. there's even an australian flag right outside on our neighbour's yard. i cant rule out the fact that on singapore's national day, it's the same sight.
im already reaching the first week of my stay here. it sucks. i havent found myself a job yet to kill boredom because my mum needs me to view the houses, move in and settle into with her and my sister. when you need a guy to help you with the luggages, it's always the middle one. by the second, i hope to get our house leased out to us, move in and find myself a job before i start the term.
semester one starts in feb and ends in june leaving the second with july till november. in semester one, i'll be taking up economics, accounting, marketing and management. just four subjects and a hell lot of work and projects. im glad i came early in feb to do my timetable since i got the best few slots. tues and wed are no school days for me and the rest im off by four. woohoo! univeristy wont be so tight and i still get to find myself some work, earn an upkeep and GO SHOPPING!
to the next week, i look forward to meeting you!
